IC 420 Cup 2008 Info

[Guest]

Well,

I didn't see a thread as of yet, or I just plain miss it. I was wondering if anyone has heard any news on this years up coming 420 cup? It's getting close, and I know the IC and Seedbay staff are going to be busy with the HTCC cup next month, but I was wondering what the layout is for this year? Hopefully there was a early jump on finding a place to hold the event and not a issue like last year. Looking forward to this years event and from the front IC page. There is only 190 days till 420, so who thinks they are going?

I'll be there and will have a couple of entries this year. Been looking forward to this trip for a very long time. Can't wait to meet up with a bunch of you. Well, just figured I'd start a thread and see what info I could dig up. Also, get info posted in one spot for others to find.

I hope everyone has a super weekend.
Take care,
BG

Morning Delta,

Nice to see you and I hope all is well. I figured it was about time to see if any info was going to be listed. So, I figured to fire up a thread on it. If all goes well and it's looking really well. I'll be there for the full time, maybe a few days extra. Getting ready to move and buy a place. Hopefully that won't take long. If all goes well and it's done quickly. I'm going to enter a couple of my crosses and have a bunch of "FREE" seeds for all that attends. I'm looking forward to meeting allot of friendly members there and can't wait to sample some killer smoke. The big question is, which pass do I buy? lolol Most likely a Sativa one. Anyways, hopefully we will hear some info soon. I did hear from Gypsy in chat one night. That OP might be running it this year, but that was a "Might". Think Gypsy said something like. He might not be in town for those dates or something. Any ways, I'm looking forward to it. You take care and nice seeing you. See you there
Later,
BG

Does anyone have general cost info? I'm just curious as to how much to set aside for different things, like food, lodging, weed, etc. Would like to see a tentative schedule so I can check flights and find a place to stay. Wanted to go desperately last year, but didn't work out. Hopefully nothing will blow up/break to get in the way of 420/2008. Hope to see you all there!

Hope to see you all as well.
If we book a hotel early - (like now) then it will be about 40-45 Euros a night, otherwise we could find something for around 60 Euros or so? Thats what I paid last year.
I would like to arrive in Amsterdam on the 19th and leave on the 21st. I would like to spend a few days in London.

Also its important to find a hotel as close to the seed boutique as possible. It just makes it easier to "hop" over to the hotel when ever we want with out having to walk miles to get there.

 

[Guest]

Who said anything about walking. I'll most likely be crawling back to my hotel. lolol, or getting carried back. If I do pass out for some funny reason. Just roll me out of the way and continue to have fun, but please. No jokes at my expense please. lolol See you all there.

I have heard rumours that some hotels provide very comprehensive guest services such as this 1 star establishments free alternative vehicle transportation to your room/ bedside at the end of long day, gratuity is probably not included though...

I would love to party it up at the 420 Cup but I'm a landlubber and don't fly in airplanes anymore and my pontoon fishin' boat just doesn't handle them larger Ocean waves that well at all.

I wish you Good Luck with those Cup entries BG, I'm sure your genetics will evaluate and fare very well in an honestly managed and executed above-board competition such as is IC's 420 CUP.
(I Hope ya win!)

Thanks I.M. Boggled,

I'm hoping they do well. I'll be happy just meeting all the IC members and friends. That's my real prize, but if I place. Don't think I won't be freaking out like a little Boy on X-mas day. Wish you was coming. I atleast owe you a nice piece of hash. For Majorly HiJacking your Diesel Generator Thread, lolol Sorry.

Take care and thanks,
BG

I'm hoping to make it this year, but then again every year I say that

This year though I actually have a pretty good shot at it. So, where's seed boutique, so I can price out the hotels nearby. Or better yet, any one got any good hotel recommendations?

 

[Harry Gypsna]

i too am going to finally mak it this year haveing said i would for the previous 3 lol

Core you must arrive at least the day before, but better still if you arrive on 18th. Otherwise you miss out on extra smoking pleasures as well as the great events planned for the event.

yea Ronley you're right ....i woz thinking the same the other day...so i woz thinking 2 rent a room for a night....Luckely i speak dutch ....i could just drive over but as i would be 'smashed' late in the evening it just would not be responseble....i'll look into it ....:smile:

i'm sure someone will manage to squeeze u in somewhere ,,theres quite a few icer's who rent apartments for a week ,u just need to ask 1 and i'm sure they'll oblige ,,
failing that the hotel utopia usually manages to squeeze an extra guest or 2 in

u should be staying 3 days minimum anyway ,theres a party going on ya know lol

book the 18-2st and u will have the best 3 days ever

I was looking at travelling on the 16th and the 23rd. Gives me a couple days on either end to see some other stuff while I'm there. Was surprised at how cheap flights are. Is there any way somebody could recommend perhaps 3-5 of the closest hotels to the festivities? Cheap is preferred, as long as it's relatively clean and dry I'm happy, just need a corner to fall down in. Trying to get 1 or 2 best friends to travel with me, no guarantees, but I'll go without them no prob. Just wondering, beyond the flight/hotel/judge's pass, what do expenses look like? I'm thinking meals and maybe some tasting at the coffeeshops. Souvenirs and such I can budget for, but just wondering how much my munchies will cost me there, maybe a couple beers a night.

I informed Mrs. Scruff last night that I'm going, she said "better work some overtime". Flight is the priority, but I wanna make sure I have lodging when I get there too, I'm assuming reservations work kinda the same as here? Thanks for everyones' advice and pointers, maybe we need a "cannatravel agency"?

Edit: So I'm seeing flights/hotels around 12-1500, so figuring just over $2,000 to get me a flight, room, and judges pass. Does this sound in the ballpark, or am I missing a great deal somewhere? 2 grand is certainly within my grasp, barring any major life disasters. I know I'm obsessing a little early about this, but that's the way I am.

This is an excellent site for booking a hotel.

I have booked a hotel 3 times from this site. Each time the hotels were fine.
The Seedboutique is up close to the central station,
